Biography

Dr. Shawn Pertunen, DO is a family medicine specialist in Petoskey, MI and has been practicing for 29 years. She graduated from Mi State Univ Coll Of Osteo Med in 1990 and specializes in family medicine.

Dr.. Pertunen stays current on medical research and employs evidence-based findings in her practice. She is very patient-centered and accessible. I have always known her to be knowledgeable, experienced, thoughtful, thorough, and extremely competent in addition to being very personable.

Told me that there was no chance that I had the chronic illness that a geneticist diagnosed me with. Not a good way to begin, truly. Then proceeded to lecture me on how she would take me off all meds, even my heart rate control meds, and how since she has fibromyalgia, I definitely had it as well. Very shocking first appt and never went back. Frankly, I don't need judgement from a person, let alone my doctor. Do no harm to your patient...she harmed me mentally.

Her office is prompt with appointment times! Dr. Pertunen services and follow-up care is comprehensive. She caught things that my specialists did not. It gives me great peace of mind and confidence to know she is the hub of my team of doctors!
